Final days as a CBAC
As we head into our final days as a CBAC we want to say a huge thank you to our locals who have supported us throughout these uncertain times.
We have really appreciated everyone's patience and kind words.
We finish our time as a CBAC on the 31st of July with operation Northcross comeback beginning in the early hours of the 1st of August.
Our process of having booked appointments and swabbing in car means that we haven't actually had anyone with COVID-19 inside our clinic but for peace of mind we thought a deep clean was in order.
At 8am on Monday the 3rd of August we open our doors once again for all urgent care matters to the public.
This is where we really need your support!
After just over four months of being closed we need to get the word out that we are back in action, ready to care for you and your family.
So make sure to share this news with your friends and family and let's get Northcross up and running again!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
